1/6: aql

aql se sirf

zehn raushan tha

ishq ne dil mein

raushni ki hai

reason just

lit up the mind

love filled my

heart with light

2/6: aql

band ahkaam-e-aql

mein rahnaa

ye bhi ik nau' ki

himaaqat hai

to be a hostage to

reason's dictates

is also a kind of

foolishness

3/6: aql

mazhabi behas main ne

ki hi naheen

faaltu aql mujh mein

thi hi naheen

in religious debates

i did not participate

useless smarts

i did not have in me

4/6: aql

zulm aur jahl pe

israar karoge kab tak

aql or fahm se

paekaar karoge kab tak

how long will you persist with

this injustice and ignorance

how long will you procrastinate…

relying on reason and understanding

Theme:Religion, Reason & Tradition (48)

5/6: aql

aql mein yun to

nahi koi kami

ik zaraa divangi

darkaar hai

there is nothing lacking

in intellect and reason

but you still need

a touch of madness

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)

6/6: aql

zamaana aql ko samjha hua hai

mishal-e-raah

kise khabar ki junoon bhi hai

saahib-e-idraak

the world always considered

intellect to be the guiding light

who knew that passion

can also inform and enlighten
